JesseWBryant Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 I swear I have seen this type of photo on here before, but I cannot remember. This is from a 1979 home with a Federal Pacicfic. What is the purpose of the "loop" as I see it. I hope it isn't something so obvious that I am overlooking. Thanks in advance
Chris Bernhardt Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 It looks like a split buss type panel with a 60 amp sub main breaker feeding the lower half of the panel. Chris, Oregon
rjw Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 What Chris said: If you look closely at them, you'll see the "upper busses" are separated from the lower branch circuit busses.
JesseWBryant Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Posted January 31, 2007 Thanks guys. Shortly after posting, I found my copy of Doug Hansen's paper titled: FPE Panels - Hazard or Hype? It had the picture I remembered seeing.
hausdok Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 You'll see those in all brands of panels. They're not uncommon at all in anything before 1984. OT - OF!!! M.
